zorroX expects a bigger HW bump from the ps3 (total) that Natal will give the 360 first week

not that, im talking about the sales now. remember the slim prediciton thread? everyone was like the ps3 is only gonna outsell the 360 for 3 weeks then it will be back down to 150k per week, that never happened, then it was modern warfare 2, that never happened and now its natal... wont be surprised if that doesnt happen either, get what im sayin? and can i add you on PSN?

LOL

@ ZorroX

Smart is relative I think, because that comparison makes no sense But yes, I was wrong.

OT: I think it's to say, the market one year forward will be different from the one we know now.

Firstly, if Nintendo manage to not lose momentum again, then the Wii will be a formidable opponent.

Secondly, we don't know what Sony will do with the Wands. If they have been well established by the time Natal releases, this will be another tough one to deal with for Microsoft.

Finally, we don't know what price point Natal will launch at or what games will come with it. For all we know, the launch games could be novelties, or half hearted games.

I think Natal will push the 360 above the PS3, but not greatly, and the Wii will continue to be the best selling console.

Yeah, that`s what i said.

@kowenicki, what is your problem? If you didn`t understand what i wrote, you could just ask, instead of making fast decisions on some meaningless bet.

The fact that it's neither a gimmick nor cumbersome is exactly the complicated part. It really has to do with the experience, right now people are just focusing on the technology and what it looks like. This applies to Natal as well.

with wii on a down surge, microsoft could be in a very good position with natal. if it has the right software, is marketed properly and if they can actually deliver the product they could become the "next" best thing after wii and tune many of the casual wii owners to 360.

on the downside, Microsofts casual software overall, has sucked. the company also has a weak track record with product handling and launching. they'll either end up hitting it big or its going to be a disaster, i don't see any middle ground for natal.

trying motion on xbox makes sense though, it is the more "casual" firendly console of the HD consoles.

well, personnaly,

I COMPLETELY see what you are saying and I also believe Natal has a VERY strong potential

but, I dont want to support MS/Xbox so I dont want to post overgood prediction for them.

Conclusion :
I hope they will copmpletely fail with their business BUT I have the feeling they will make the step and create a VERY big buzz/sales with Natal ...

want and see for me.

only nintendo can oull off the motion controls crap, it wont work out for neither microsoft or sony but if you wanted to compare the 2 than sonys's would have a better chance at doing better because its like the wii's and thats already a proven success where as natal is completely new and who knows how poeple will react towards it and also what kind of games can be made with it. another factor is how much these tings are gonna cost. expecting a few new buyers for natal is fair but expecting the entire casual audience to flock to it is not. 360 is already at a mainstream price, it has casual friendly games, facebook, twitter, movies, sky player, the works! but if that doesnt get the casuals to "jump in" by the flood loads then natal sure as hell aint! thats my take on it anyway.
